I want to keep pointing out the psoitives sides as well and how it comes out. Texas has new laws regarding school zones, boosters, etc and she takes it upon herself to call everyone she knows that these laws will affect so they dont get caught off guard.

So when internal feelings take over they feel like crap that they just blew up. I have had my wife get mad at me because she got onto me about something and she thought her getting onto me made her look like an ass to someone else.

We have essence and then we have reality and actual use cases. you are not Fe dom so you dont retreat to Fe to remain in control. I retreat to Ti to remain in control since its my dominant function. I am sure ENFPs retreat to Ne to remain in control.

That's why this isn't an accurate presentation of how Fe works. If it was it would be able to apply to all types with a prominent Fe, not just Fe dominants. This is more of an anecdotal account of how an Fe-dom might express his/herself when frustrated. Also, keep in mind that ExxJs are "in-charge" and "get things going" types so they are more prone to force their will under stress.

To me, Fe is basically the thing that makes a person more sensitive to how their actions affect others. Thus it also learns cultural and social norms and keeps them in mind, whether or not that information is valued depends on the situation and the person.

I like how we haven't gotten any actual answers. People agree that what has been described isn't descriptive of Fe... but we get nothing to go on.

I'm sure we're smart enough to realize what the dominant function does and all that, but you can still define what a function fundamentally does. And yes I read what you put Lauren Ashley, but that is just a bit too broad. Fe use is much more than what you described...

So... yeah. I've literally never seen an answer to this question, what Fe exactly is in MBTI terms. The threads ALWAYS get derailed, get turned into Fe bash fests, and/or turn into fluff/flirting.

Fe's easy. You understand other people's emotional states in the context of how you would feel if you were in their position. Fe-attacks are so effective because they're essentially asking themselves "what could I say that would make me feel the most like crap right now if I were them?"

I dunno guys, I feel like I've responded to so many of these Fe threads from a Fe-doms perspective only to get told "I do that too!" by a non-Fe user that these are almost pointless. Either Fe users use Fe in a way that is particular to them or anyone can do Fe.

Relationships have normal ebbs and flows. They do not automatically get better and better when the participants learn more and more about each other. Instead, the participants have to work through the tensions of the relationship (the dialectic) while they learn and group themselves and a parties in a relationships. At times the relationships is very open and sharing. Other time, one or both parties to the relationship need their space, or have other concerns, and the relationship is less open. The theory posits that these cycles occur throughout the life of the relationship as the persons try to balance their needs for privacy and open relationship.Interpersonal Communication Theories and ConceptsSocial Penetration Theory 1Social Penetration Theory 2Social Penetration Theory 3

No..Fi asks itself how it would feel in this situation and transfers it to the other person with the right adjustements based on context and background of the person. That's like typical of Fi. So yet again, I'm still looking for an answer to those original questions I posed.
